Some cars can pull it off though, for example, I like Grabber Girl's side stripe cuz it matches her Orange/Black theme going on. Same for my car, Red/Black theme going on. But it seems just out of place w/ you car since you arent going alloy/white theme.. which would look bad anyways lol.

I vote leave them on.. the only reason it looks better in your picture without them, is because you used DIFFERENT upgraded rims. check the pics carefully.

Funny thing about those stripes.. BEFORE I got mine, I INSISTED that I wouldn't consider buying a Mustang without those "racing stripes" but NOW my list of future mods includes REMOVING them...LOL!

I WILL re-paint and re-stripe my car but NOT in a way that makes it look like EVERY other 05+ STOCK Mustang on the road... I've been thinking of a retro BOSS 302 look, but without the stripe across the hood - just the "C" stripes on the side.

Take them off and get some rims that actually look half good.

Those white stripes don't look good on alloy. If you had the Pony Package stripes they'd look like 10% better, but still, ditch them.
